Helldivers 2 Xbox Release Could End The Console Wars

Based on how 's Galactic Map is set up and evolving, a massive faction clash could create cool new missions. Though the insect-like Terminids and robotic Automatons are currently on separate sides of the Galactic Map, both are slowly pushing toward Super Earth. Though the ultimate goal for Helldivers is to liberate each planet and push them back, chances are these wars will have patterns that flow back and forth — patterns that will likely get even more complicated when new game-changing factions are added to the battlefronts.

Although is, for the most part, a game that's easy to learn in terms of moment-to-moment gameplay, the exact workings of the galaxy-spanning war for liberation that the game centers its overarching progression around can be a little harder to intuit.

The toughest enemies in often take the game's best weapons to defeat, but one clever trick can accomplish the same job for less investment.

has a lot of enemies that can be frustrating to fight, but one of the most annoying to encounter is actually interesting in a way that none of the others can claim. Enemies in can be divided into two factions – Terminids, which appear as insectoid alien creatures, and Automatons, which are robotic and heavily armored.

A reliable Xbox insider has claimed that Gears of War, Flight Simulator, and the next Doom game to other platforms, although it seemingly hasn't made a decision about them just yet.

The last 10-days-or-so have been quite the roller coaster for Xbox fans. Team Green was thrown into turmoil earlier this month by rumors that everything from Starfield, to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, to even Gears of War may be going multiplatform. Granted, some of those rumors were later walked back, but still, the spectre of a third-party future for Xbox was raised.
